One thing I've always wondered about Riverworld is who didn't make it.
Farmer resurrected billions of people from every era, and we got an amazing mix of explorers, kings, soldiers, writers, philosophers, and villains. But there are still historical figures I kept expecting to run into that never showed up.
For me, I'd have loved to see Nikola Tesla. Imagine what he'd try to build with Riverworld's limited resources. Or maybe Miyamoto Musashi, just to see how he'd adapt to a world where death wasn't permanent.
Who do you think should have been included?
Who would have made Riverworld even more interesting?
